Randy E Ellis, PhD - Refereed Conference Papers

These publications were reviewed in full, typically as 4-page or 8-page submissions in camera-ready copy that were accepted after a blinded peer-review process that was conducted in the customary manner for scientific findings. (Many of these were later expanded and published as articles in archival journals, which is often encouraged by organizers of a conference.)
